Ouch.

Like I said two drill holes, pins and some JB weld.

Advice/opinion for @DynaBro

Cubic inches x rpm x VE / 3456 = CFM

383 x 6,500 x 0.80 / 3456 = 576

You don't need a LARGE CFM carburetor.

I picked 6,500 rpm as a round number because this approximately where a lot of aftermarket 383 intakes tested by Hot Rod hit max horsepower.

You will also need to make sure your aftermarket intake manifold / aftermarket carburetor set-up combination is going to work/fit/mate with your stock fresh air system; assuming it's stock. That is, the overall height.

This is exactly in line with my thoughts. Big carb isn't going to do much for me. However the 850 is the one I have the fastest access to and a very good price on. Would rather go with the AVS2. Going to wait and see if they offer a sale next week.
